Ten NFL coaches and executives compiled a list of the 10 best quarterbacks who have played in the ...

New Orleans Saints fans will be happy to know Drew Brees made the list, and despite being the No. 1 player for Saints fans, the panel considered him the ninth-best quarterback since 1978.

Tom Brady tops the list at No. 1 followed by Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, John Elway and Aaron Rodgers rounding out the top five. Dan Marino and Brett Favre are tied at No. 6 with Steve Young at No. 8 and Dan Fouts coming in at 10.

Looking at the QB's ahead of Brees, I think it's fair. By the time he hangs em up, I could see top #5 or better.

Yup, I was thinking the same thing. He'll be all-time leader in many top QB statistics. He's going to be passing up both Favre and Manning within the next 20 games for all-time yards. He should move past Favre for 2nd in TD's this season and then Manning in 2018 for the all-time lead. He has a shot of passing both Manning and Favre for career completion this season, as well. Ad another two to three years of production on top of that and they may stand for a while and will make him a first ballet HOF'er.

If choosing a QB this is the order I would pick. There is more to being a QB than stats and SB
